Why a member of the USA Democratic Party is not a Socialist/Communist/Marxist. Just look at the party platform of the self-acknowledged Socialist/Communists/Marxists in Europe and you will see little to no difference between their ideology. Higher taxes. Check. More government control. check. More Government spending. Check. More entitlements. Check.

Why people have their heads shoved so far up their anal cavities that all they see is fecal matter is beyond me. And this also applies to the Republican establishment that is nothing more than SOCIALIST-LITE.

With that said, the majority of the American people are too stupid to realize that the corrupt media are indoctrinating them, so that they support the status quo.

WAKE THE F*** UP@!

The true conservatives/tea partiers are the ones attempting to reverse the status quo and return us to the principles which made us the greatest country in the world, bar none. This means hard work, accountability, responsibility, and having a moral compass. Anyone that doesn't adhere to those principles can lick my hairy balls. I'll work my butt off to support those truly in need, but those seeking to sit on their rectum and milk the system... my hairy balls await.

Re: Please explain to me......

IMO its due to no major ultra rich players in the tea party to help buy the media (which is pretty obviously up for sale). The dems bash the tea party for obvious reasons, but the republicans are just as quick due to them not being on the same platform as what the vast majority of the republicans are now.

The vast majority of the teaparty (as i know it anyway) is small to medium buisness owners. Without having major Capitol to basically buy one of the news channels so they can even out the press reports on them, it's going to be a struggle for the party to get a fair shake.

And I really don't think it helped the party to hitch its trailer to the single most bashed person in politics. I know you like Palin, but the mass opinion of her is very low due to the flat out hate she gets every time she sneezes.

Edit to add: I realize I have stereotyped all media here, when a good poster here is technically a part of the media. I should specify the political media when I post like this. I mean no disrespect to you nj, or anyone other reporters covering honest topics.

No disrespect taken. I know perfectly well that journalism is stuck in a bad place at the moment. I've even stepped back and am doing more observing and I'm writing more than reporting now. I think my novel will be published before I get a full-time job reporting anywhere.

A good part of the reason the Tea Party is looked down on could be that the vast majority of it's members are white males over the age of 40 that are most likely religious and conservative in life not just politics. That's a perfect recipe to alienate minorities and young people.

Sounds like you're talking about most of the Republican Party.

Repeat what you just said again. That's the brainwashed mentality he's talking about. The victim mentality being thrown around because of immigration or the voting rights act is pure nonsense. We have a broken immigration system that takes too long for legal immigration to happen and rewards illegal immigration too much, and it's call discrimination to want to fit it. That's wrong. The voting act change was allowing whoever was in power complete control over the south as far as redistricting and voting laws that both sides could abuse. No rights were changed by that ruling, it just returned that decisions back to the states and voters instead of whichever party controlled the DOJ. It didn't change a single civil right.

Playing the constant victim even when you're in power has gone overboard. Claiming injustices that aren't happening to make the other side sound racist and like a bully is just pathetic. Because it's like the boy who cried wolf. When the real injustices happen, no one's going to know. It's just going to fit under more political games and be glossed over.

To be white doesn't make you racist. That's the real discrimination happening here. They're trying to get as many whites as possible to fall into that white guilt trip so that you don't stand up for your own politics or beliefs. That's the only racial maneuvering happening today.
